SF Quote of the Day

Quotes like these are something that makes me think we need a revolution at the MTA. People at the city are such wimps when it comes to making a city that is inherently transit oriented actually transit oriented.

"We're seeing capitulation from the MTA," he added. "It doesn't matter if you have 1,000 or 10,000 advocates and a city charter that requires a transit first policy, if one grumpy merchant gives you the skunk eye, the whole thing gets set aside."

Anyone else feel like tossing in the towel? When do we get leaders in this town that put moving people instead of cars first?

I'm transitioning my writing over to my other site which was previously called The Direct Transfer. People seemed to be confused by the differences in brand between The Overhead Wire and The Direct Transfer so I made a change and combined the two as The Overhead Wire.

This page will continue to be here and will still be updated sparingly as it has over the last few years, however new original analysis and writing will be featured at TheOverheadWire.com in addition to the news archive and The Overhead Wire Daily email.
